Treatment of Complications after Unintentional Tooth Displacement by Active Bonded Retainers
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
Maintenance after orthodontic treatment is often mistaken for stability of the post-treatment status. As stated by Oppenheim in 1934, "Retention is the most difficult problem in orthodontia; in fact, it is the problem". Bonded lingual retainers, which have become a standard part of retention protocol due to the relapse tendency of lower-incisor irregularity, have been shown to be effective in maintaining the alignment of the mandibular anterior region. Nevertheless, such retainers can loosen without being noticed or even be unintentionally activated, resulting in undesirable tooth displacement.

Correction of Anterior Bolton Discrepancy and Crowding in Patients with Missing Lower Incisors
Volume 53 : Number 1 : Page 9 : Jan 2019
In an adult patient with lower anterior crowding and agenesis of one lower central incisor, extraction of the remaining incisor may offer better long-term stability than conventional lower premolar extractions. Dr. Antelo and colleagues present such a case.

An Innovative Light-Curing Unit for More Efficient Bonding
Volume 53 : Number 12 : Page 732 : Dec 2019
The authors introduce FlashCure, a light-emitting diode unit that can cure composite on multiple teeth at the same time. An in vitro test shows greater shear bond strengths from the prototype FlashCure device than from a commercially available light-curing unit.

Failure to Expose a Canine by Diode Laser
Volume 58 : Number 1 : Page 64 : Jan 2024
After an unsuccessful attempt to expose an impacted canine with a diode laser, Dr. Meru revised his patient-communication protocol and clinical technique. In describing his current procedure for laser exposures, he advises when to stop and refer the patient to an oral surgeon.

Step-By-Step Traction of a Palatally Impacted Canine
Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 335 : Jun 2017
Two-phase treatment of a mixed-dentition patient with a palatally impacted canine is described and illustrated. After surgical exposure of the canine, the authors perform distal traction with miniscrew anchorage to relieve the obstruction caused by the adjacent lateral incisor. Under the guidance of cone-beam computed tomography, the canine is then moved into appropriate position for forced eruption into the arch.

Miniplate Anchorage for Correction of Skeletal Anterior Open Bite in an Adult
Volume 54 : Number 3 : Page 175 : Mar 2021
Treatment of anterior open bite is more challenging in non-growing patients. This report documents the correction of an adult patient’s skeletal open bite using T-shaped miniplates installed in the zygomatic pillars and in the external mandibular cortical bone.

OVERVIEW
Upper-Molar Distalization and the Distal Jet
Volume 50 : Number 3 : Page 0 : Mar 2016
Can upper molars really be distalized? This elusive query comes up whenever the topic of Class II correction is raised, yet no conclusion seemingly achieves a consensus. At least, we periodically pretend not to comprehend how correction occurs (despite the substantial number of clinical and research reports on the subject) so as to promote methods that may be in current favor. The idea that the maxilla or the maxillary dentition can be moved posteriorly to resolve a Class II malocclusion is perhaps one of the oldest and least understood concepts in orthodontics. The application of some type of pushing force against the upper arch and teeth to correct a Class II has obviously worked well enough during the past 100 years of orthodontics to perpetuate the "orthopedic" side of the specialty. The term distalization is a neologism, made up in recent years for our convenience. But while it may be an example of "bad" English, it might still be good orthodontic practice. To address whether upper molars can really be distalized, we need to address how contemporary distalization methods do what they do.
